Lemongrass Fish Escabeche (Sweet and Sour Fish in Lemongrass)
March 10th, 2014 
Try this fish escabeche with a twist with the addition of lemongrass and kinchay. Lemongrass is one of the culinary herb that enhances the flavor of meat dishes but can also be used on fish or seafood. It acts as a deodorizer too like ginger. And with regards to fish used in this recipe, you can use white flesh fish like grouper (lapu-lapu) or red snapper (maya-maya). Buying the fish is sometimes tricky not knowing how fresh it is when sold in the market. It is not enough to look at the clear eyes or red gills. Fish skin should be oily and not dry, firm and not soft. Check for that sea or freshly cut cucumber smell. Any weird odors are signs of a stale fish.
Steamed Fried Chicken (Pinsangawang Pritong Manok)
March 9th, 2014 Steamed chicken is a healthier than fried chicken obviously because the fat content is not as much as frying the chicken. Steaming food preserves the flavor. But some people dislike steamed chicken because it looks and sometimes taste bland specially when they taste the skin. It looks and taste half cooked. The recipe I have here is frying the chicken first them steaming it. Quite contrary to the usual cooking of steaming it first to ensure everything or every part of the chicken is cooked. Not having fresh blood on the inside and the joints. I think this is a must try if you want to cook something different.
